The one thing I wanted to see was the one Ghost that had 3 kills and jumped to 23 kills and I was hoping to see the replay of what happened there with the fog of war lifted in the replay. Sadly that will remain a mystery for all eternity now.
uThermal, you are so entertaining to watch, you explain everything you're doing, it's so cool to see you call audibles every time you learn some new piece of information. It brings the nuances of this game to life. It's hard to watch pros who do the same build order every time. I hope you can keep up the endless creativity. I have a hard time watching any other starcraft 2 content any more because from the first moment the game starts you begin brainstorming. It's just great. You're also a good guy, great personality. I really appreciate what you're doing. Keep up the great work :)
Cloak to GM was definitely one of the most fun series IMO. It had it all, the crazy nukes, the insane banshee pressures, the soul crushing abuse of widow mines, all the things that make an SC2 ladder experience pain.
Ending on a high note! 🤩🎉 Next series suggestions… Burrowed to Grandmaster Recall to Grandmaster Dropper-lord to Grandmaster Nordic to Grandmaster (Viking + Thor)
RIP cloaked to GM, many of your most enjoyable games come out of this series I have a new challenge for you thermy: Siege to GM You are only allowed to use units that has an attack mode which renders them immobile: Widow Mine, Siege Tank, Liberator and of course any base defense (And maybe ghosts because they have to stay still for nukes and snipe) Consider: You can use any infantry but they can only fight from inside bunkers Hope you read this!
It would be super impractical without unit allowances, but for the next Zerg series, I think Broodlord Infestor to GM would be hilarious. See how far you can get using what used to be the most broken build in the game.
This was such an amazing series Thermy! Thank you immensly for your top quality content! Can't wait to see your new challenges, all of them are a treat to watch during my breaks at work. Your narration is 10/10. Keep up your amazing work!!!
15:36 pretty sure the negative is better reinforced in memory. Something with psychology. Most likely has to do with evolution and stuff. Remembering bad things would improve chances of survival more than remembering something good. We even have a saying in my country - a drop of tar spoils a barrel of honey.
An amazing challenge series. Great fun to watch it all. 👍 If I had to guess why you face so many Terrans late at night I would say it's because the Protoss and Zerg have either gained enough MR from wins or have quit trying by then, while the Terrans have lost most games vs P & Z (due to them being questionably "stronger" in this meta) and still need to grind more MR so they are left battling each other. It's been a long time since Terran got buffs without equal nerfs (or straight nerfs) while both P & T gained buffs often without equal nerfs, just requiring a change of meta to be OP vs Terran. Blink Stalkers mostly destroy Terran early, and late-game Ravager/Infestor/Viper (i.e. mass spellcasters) with mass Zerg/Bane or Hydra/Lurker absolutely rips most Terran apart to the point they can't often recover from. Except when a Terran executes a plan PERFECTLY or gets lucky; then the average Terran has "a chance" to win. Terrans using cheese or a specific strategy that their opponent isn't expecting is the best way they can win. And your challenges are FAR from the norm of Terran play. 😌
Mark: these banshees could really pop off. *clicks on ghost and gives it orders* Ghost: You sure about that? Really felt like the ghost was commenting on the banshees lol
The luck from the early stage of the first game was insanely funny. Not only did you kill both of his reapers, but you were also able to scout his base because he misplaced his wall and marines on the exact same spot you thought the reaper jump spot was at! 4:14
Excellent stuff as always. Congratulations! Next I know you already got a zerg series going but I think that's gonna wrap soon too. I'd love to see a hydralisk (and thier morphs) challenge.
Amazing episode! I’d love to see the apm between you and that first opponent lol. Next challenge: Bancheese, banshee+one or two other units (maybe decided with a raptor wheel?). I want to see banshee battle cruiser. Also a uthermal3 channel where you watch/critique replays and go over ways you could have done better and ways we can defeat your strats with interludes of hilarity watching the opponents POV when 5 nukes at once are launched at him lol
There has got to be some mapmaker at Blizzard screaming, "Of course that's the reaper jump up spot, I marked it in red with an exclamation point, what more do you want!?"
Reaper cliffs are marked with signs for a few seasons already, the first map for example has that red exclamation mark, but seems like not all definitely
I'll be sorry to see this one go! At first, I thought it's just Ghosts Only but easier. However, the Ghosts main weakness of being bad in fights and unable to close out games & consolidate advantages, turned out to be much the same in Mines and Banshees. As such, the challenge turned to finding more creative harass and multi-prongs, and developing new defensive solutions, such as the backup CCs to instantly replace lost PFs in the 5-CC setup, and forward PFs to intercept these attacks before they hit the mining base. It was really interesting to watch strats develop, and I'll miss the creative ways to torture people you cooked up in this challenge. Wouldn't mind seeing it return for a few GM-level episodes sometime, perhaps once the patch has settled a bit!

XD I loved that comment from the opponent at the last game. Totally understand the frustation. Glad to see this challenge end, i always thought it was kinda boring and too easy playing ghosts against toddlers. I'm hoping for another protoss challenge next
That first game was soul crushing... In game two we caught Jamal smokin' the reefer again, this time behind the Vespine Gas. PROBES LIVES MATTER! Shame. Shame.
An emp vs ravens in this case is a great idea IMHO because ghosts suck at killing auto turrets, this is a free 1 shot snipe of auto turrets and potential dorito dust
I can handle cloak to grandmaster ending, but I can't handle seeing final episode as the title of one of your videos.
same, there was a moment of shock
uThermal loves his clickbait titles, innit. 😂 but the thumbnail picture explains it all
exactlty that
When I saw the title I was like "nooooooo!" thinking there won't be any more content coming from him.
No shiz, I was SCARED.
The one thing I wanted to see was the one Ghost that had 3 kills and jumped to 23 kills and I was hoping to see the replay of what happened there with the fog of war lifted in the replay. Sadly that will remain a mystery for all eternity now.
Yeah that's my one complaint is the lack of nuke review at the end of the match
@@pinkfloyddwc
same
it's the best part

Enjoyed the whole series, you are the best man.
Cloak to GM was definitely one of the most fun series IMO. It had it all, the crazy nukes, the insane banshee pressures, the soul crushing abuse of widow mines, all the things that make an SC2 ladder experience pain.
uThermal's Widow Mine games were, by an odd twist of time paradox, the inspiration for the original movie Screamers =)
29:00 uThermal casually flying his cc to take enemy's main base as his expansion
30:40 That zerg had such a good spirit.
I wish I could be at least a little like them.
Props to Dukuso for fighting bravely and keeping it cheerful! ♥
Ahhh... what an incredible finale to a legendary series. Looking forward to what you've got cooking next, uThermal.
Ending on a high note! 🤩🎉
Next series suggestions…
Burrowed to Grandmaster
Recall to Grandmaster
Dropper-lord to Grandmaster
Nordic to Grandmaster (Viking + Thor)
RIP cloaked to GM, many of your most enjoyable games come out of this series
I have a new challenge for you thermy: Siege to GM
You are only allowed to use units that has an attack mode which renders them immobile: Widow Mine, Siege Tank, Liberator and of course any base defense (And maybe ghosts because they have to stay still for nukes and snipe)
Consider: You can use any infantry but they can only fight from inside bunkers
Hope you read this!
Thank you for this series Marc. Of all of them, this was my favourite.
A really thought you would lose a bunch of game in grand finale but you won every single one! I will never doubt you again, Marc!
Just set down with tea and there is a uThermal video. Nice!
sad to see this series end! Ghosts and nukes are just the best salt mining :) congrats on a great series marc
Absolute banger of a finale
Excellent finale. Really enjoyed this series.
This frantic nuke playstyle is something you can't get anywhere else
It would be super impractical without unit allowances, but for the next Zerg series, I think Broodlord Infestor to GM would be hilarious. See how far you can get using what used to be the most broken build in the game.
This was such an amazing series Thermy! Thank you immensly for your top quality content! Can't wait to see your new challenges, all of them are a treat to watch during my breaks at work. Your narration is 10/10. Keep up your amazing work!!!
Not only is he microorganisms his Nukes but he’s making sure to get the footage of the bikes landing! This man is a beast!
Thermy I am literally taking lessons from you in talking myself through my own work when I get frustrated and it's super helpful, thank you
Great series! You have become my go-to channel. Keep up the great work!
That was a very satisfying and entertaining finale, thanks for this amazing series

And your challenges are FAR from the norm of Terran play. 😌
"what to see next?" - only one unit type challenge, like you did with terran, but with other two races.. :)
Now about those cyclones... i think its time to get GM with them is it not?
I really enjoyed this one, man! Gonna miss it badly... THANK YOU FOR THIS EXPERIENCE
Awesome series, 😁💯 big claps gg, ty for the fun and your coments, cant get enough, watching every vid you made 🎉 big fan
Mark: these banshees could really pop off.
*clicks on ghost and gives it orders*
Ghost: You sure about that?
Really felt like the ghost was commenting on the banshees lol
Very cool series. I’m sad it’s over.
Your level of play is so amazing. I’d be pretty frustrated playing against you.
loved this series - it was a kind of art
Word.
Dukoso cheers for being a good sport, that game was tremendous
I'm surprised he didn't just ask marc to finish the job, let his army go out in a ball of flame.
the swarm of overseers xD
Thank you for the series, one of my favorites
The luck from the early stage of the first game was insanely funny. Not only did you kill both of his reapers, but you were also able to scout his base because he misplaced his wall and marines on the exact same spot you thought the reaper jump spot was at! 4:14
Truly marvelous FINAL episode, keep it up Marc
Legendary series coming to a legendary end.
Big respect for pulling it off.
Excellent stuff as always. Congratulations! Next I know you already got a zerg series going but I think that's gonna wrap soon too. I'd love to see a hydralisk (and thier morphs) challenge.
Happy Thanksgiving from Canada, Marc!
Thanks again for the videos :)
Stuck at home with the Rona, and your cheese helps keep me going :D
ion kno you but COVID is not allowed, get well random dude
Get well friend ^^
I am sad that this has to end ;(
I play this strat very often and like to learn more of you and love seing you execute this so good
Last match was such a treat. The whole series was so fun, and then you put a bow on it. Magic. Can't wait to see the next series.
yo de verdad que disfruyo mucho de estos episodios, es que en serio, eres una bestia
Amazing episode! I’d love to see the apm between you and that first opponent lol. Next challenge: Bancheese, banshee+one or two other units (maybe decided with a raptor wheel?). I want to see banshee battle cruiser. Also a uthermal3 channel where you watch/critique replays and go over ways you could have done better and ways we can defeat your strats with interludes of hilarity watching the opponents POV when 5 nukes at once are launched at him lol
Is there a ghost of a chance to to grow MMR in the final ep? I guess we'll find out
fantastic episode. cant wait for what you cook up next
There has got to be some mapmaker at Blizzard screaming, "Of course that's the reaper jump up spot, I marked it in red with an exclamation point, what more do you want!?"
"Walking 7 Stalkers into WindowMines he sees" - Uthermal "But i dont think he did anything wrong" - Uthermal
Thanks for the cool series! ^^
Never see die, but they will see the nukes et the blasts of the mines and banshees. x)
Very funny! Thx Marc! - next maybe the 5Ms ? Marine, Medivac, Marauder, Mine, maybe a Raven? :-)
great series, insane ending
Wow, what an explosive finale!
Reaper cliffs are marked with signs for a few seasons already, the first map for example has that red exclamation mark, but seems like not all definitely
This is top SC content right here. Congrats!
*reads comments about missing ghosts*
"Okay, fine, here's 5 ghost academies, you happy?"
Yes, thank you daddy Marc
he can't keep getting away with this - youtube plot armour vs 2 reapers
this series was pure pog. please do more crazy terran macro cheese shenanigans

Your head shines more than my entire life. Such a beautiful man! Stay healthy!
New viewer this season. Had a blast watching! Thanks for the entertainment.
awesome games, thank you!
Really going to miss this one, but what a Send Off! Love Your Contenent!!! Look forward to everything that Is to come!

Every snipe is a source of fun (hiss)

Eco's a joke like it just begun! (hiss)
Three widow mines kaboom!
Three widow mines who, all nefary

Three widow mines kaboom
Three widow mines kaboom!
One widow mine maims a bride, nom nom
Two widow mines rallied endless come -
Three widow mines is the ideal sum
Three widow mines kaboom!
From three widow mines slink one away

I'd love to see you make a team of cheesers next time there's an archon tourney... I just feel that would be an absolute blast
Hell of a episode. Laughted hard xD
The mini-heart-attack as I read the title & thumbnail only.
Really fun episode!
NOoooooo you have to keep this one going! It's wayyyy to entertaining!
This felt like an epic troll games.
NOOOOO didn't want this series to ever end
Please no. I have not played this game in years and I watch your channel everyday. I will miss this series
XD I loved that comment from the opponent at the last game. Totally understand the frustation. Glad to see this challenge end, i always thought it was kinda boring and too easy playing ghosts against toddlers. I'm hoping for another protoss challenge next
Such a fun series to watch. Ggs can’t see me!!
Title is dramatic AF I love it 👍 keep them coming Marc 🫡
12:00 such good nukes
Time to bring back planetary rush to gm, since we have a new patch!
"I hope you laugh a lot". I sure did. GG
Wow, that final match was just brutal! No idea how SkyStar lost so many units by accident.
Rockets to grandmaster. Marauder, Cyclones, Banshees, Vikings (no landing allowed) and 1-2 ghosts for nukes (no snipes, no emp allowed).
Please call it "Grand finale" in the future, this title gave me a mini heart attack 😂
Yeah BeastyQT PTSD
I was hoping you would nuke that clump of slow overlords at 25:26 LULZ
Cracking finale - GG
I got scared seeing the title "Last Episode".
Let's go!
Such a good finale!
Great games. Thx.
If they go mass Thor and a couple ravens this build gets wrecked. That's what's hilarious, people don't know what to do
17:11 Ghost in the Shell sequel title
dude my heart stopped for a moment, that title
That first game was soul crushing...
In game two we caught Jamal smokin' the reefer again, this time behind the Vespine Gas.
PROBES LIVES MATTER! Shame. Shame.
31:08 that unit portrait tho, am I the only one who sees it?
Love the commentary
Cool final episode!!! 👍
36:47 Observer!
congrats man!
And what a finale it was! :D
An emp vs ravens in this case is a great idea IMHO because ghosts suck at killing auto turrets, this is a free 1 shot snipe of auto turrets and potential dorito dust
Hi Mark! Thanks for all the content. I would love to see the next challenge to be "mass Vikings". They technically can kill everything!
That was the penguin brothers series
@@gcl2783 nah penguins were also with marauders and hellbats
I'd be interested in a series that relies heavily on dts, what do you think marc?
yes, dt rush to gm!
So a cloaked to gm protoss
And a cloaked(burrowed) to gm zerg?
Motherships to GM
DT rush to grandmaster would be ruthless
Has to happen eventually xD
one base random to GM
and also one which you may be planning already, mothership rush to GM
This episode was amazing. I was laughing the whole time
